It says the majority of positions affected are based in Ontario.
Spokesman Zac Carreiro says Rogers is investing in digital tools and self-serve options that help customers “find what they’re looking for faster,” noting this reflects evolving customer habits.
He says those investments have reduced interactions with Rogers’ customer care chat team by 20 per cent over the past year.
Rogers, which has previously touted having its customer service team based entirely in Canada, also offers support through virtual assistant tools.
